Getting the e-Word OUT symposium will help agencies and organizations serving the LGBT community understand how to plan, staff and fund social media tools for programs. Not a technical discussion, but a symposium on how organizations can get results using social media.

Individuals with technical skills will improve their business planning skills, those with no technical skills will find out what skills they will need to recruit.

The symposium begins with a panel discussion on best strategies to develop social media components for programs followed by actual case study presentations. Attendees then get to participate - asking questions, talking about their experiences and discussing the information presented.

For those who always thought they ought to be in pictures, know that the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network will video tape the entire symposium for netcast as part of the Network's soon to be released national training program on social media. So be sure to dress for stardom!!

Getting The e-Word OUT is a production of the Office of LGBT Health and the Office of Substance Abuse and Tobacco Control Programs at the Chicago Department of Public Health in collaboration with the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network
